Communion with the Holy Trinity | Sam Waldron | 1689 2:3
For our Baptist forefathers, the doctrine of the Trinity was anything but mysterious and difficult with little practical application to daily life. No, rather, it was crucial to our communion with God and comfort in God.
John Gill comes to London (1719) | Michael Haykin

God’s Relation to Mankind | 1689 2:2
Modern men and contemporary theologians find it difficult in their minds to reconcile the classical theism of the Christian tradition and the Scriptures with a God who is relational.
